Chicken Rustlers Strike

Chickens are stolen from a Dorset school in the latest in a series of poultry thefts

Four chickens living in a chicken coop built by students at Bournemouth’s Portchester School have been stolen by chicken thieves. The chickens had been christened Tallulah, Clucky, Tinky Winky and Tinkerbell. They had been bought as part of a study in which the boys in the class were meant to learn how to house and feed chickens. The theft is the latest theft in a series across Dorset – chickens had been stolen in other areas too. Clearly there is a band of chicken rustlers roaming around the West Country!
